The Very Private USB designed by tech company dialog05 is just a part of their 'Universal Connections' collection.

The white corded USB cables are intricately intertwined with three separate cords. The braided twist meets up to the middle of your slacks and connects via a plastic protector. The Very Private USB is only labeled with the traditional USB symbol in a bright blue and draws attention to your pants. The Very Private USB is a unique conversation starter or as an uber geeky-chic way to carry your USB while maintaining smooth style.

According to the dialog05 site, the Very Private USB is, "The accessory for intimate data. No one’s getting access that quickly."
